Here is Morello's brief preview of the Zed's play style and kit, a bit earlier than usual.
"Hey guys,
So we’re going to be doing a big reveal on this stuff soon, but I wanted to give you a quick gameplay peek of the next champion – the Shadow Ninja.
We’ve worked hard to make a cool gameplay loop that is really ninja-y and lets you be pretty clever. Let me run you through it real fast;
• He can make a stationary shadow of himself that then copies his skills when used. For example, you can throw a skillshot shuriken and he’ll also throw one. If they both hit, then you hit with two!
• He can swap places with his shadow to be elusive, set up ganks, or dodge skillshots
• All his skills can double hit!
• Yes, he uses energy
Shadow Ninja’s gameplay isn’t about deceptive clones, but instead copying himself to extend and increase his power or mobility. And since his moves deal with areas or skillshots, setting up the right positioning to double-hit and maximize your damage is really important.
OK theorycrafters…all yours!"
As for the full sneak peak...
"Since early antiquity, shadows have long been a subject of fascination. If you’re a scientist, your shadow is probably a simple projection of light. If you’re more spiritual, your shadow might be a reflection of your more shady whims. And if you’re following a forbidden path filled with dark techniques and even darker motives, it’s possible that your shadow is a sinister companion ready to help you pull off a vicious assassination in some dark corner of the Fields of Justice.
While we’re delving into the forbidden ways, allow us to introduce Zed, a relentless ninja master who’ll leave your enemies scared of their own shadows."
Shredder ripoff
ReplyDeleteTHAT IS WHAT I SAID TOO. But in a more positive light.
DeleteOr a more positive shadow
DeleteWell, i admit it its shredder
Deleteif u dont know what shredder is : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8SUaKzEd8ow
ok...to me...he looks freakin' awesome
ReplyDeleteThat's cause he is freakin' awesome.
Deletehe looks like Talon nothing differ btw them
DeleteYea i thought this was a remodel of Talon. Abilities seem interesting
DeleteOMG SO COOL
ReplyDeleteHear Hear! He actually looks pretty cool. Off to the store I will be going :)
DeleteMaybe we'll be seeing a turtle champ later.
ReplyDeleteRammus.
DeleteRamuus, the Armordillo
DeleteArmordillo
Armadillo

does armordillo tells you anything at all?
Deletedoes armordildo tell you anything? ask your mom.
DeleteI'm wary.
ReplyDeleteWow, I see the potential of him being really OP once people master him.
ReplyDeleteThat's how every champ is if you "master" them.
DeleteIt is unbelievable to me that anyone still says these words.
DeleteWhy is it unbelievable?
Deletesome champions are a lot stronger than others even if u master them
Deletean easy example is a fully farmed adc in the hands of an player that has mastered it can easily beat a fully farmed support champion
and i know that they play different rolles
but the bottom line is that some champions are stronger than others (they have better or more specialized set of skills)
also the potential of dealing x2 constant damage is a clear advantage
No what is crazy is the fact that EVERYONE sees or read something about a new champ and they immediately go:
DeleteERMAGERD, SOZ OPZ DA FUQ Ri0T WEE HATEZ U!
Like chill out with that shit and learn the champ and stuff first. Stop being so dramatic and shit. Now a days everyone just says every champ is op from a paragraph or a spotlight. If you go look at the old Karma spotlight and look at the very first comments on youtube, EVERYONE is saying she is op. Ha what a letdown that was....
Just like syndra. OMG HER ULT DEALS SO
DeleteMICH DAMAGE. NERF PLS. -.-
inb4 Dr. Zed skin.
ReplyDeleteLord Zed Power Rangers anyone?
ReplyDeleteI still love it.
Dude, I had to Ctrl+F this entire page looking for "Rangers" just to see if anyone else noticed! Amazing! We're getting old though...
DeleteIKR. I saw Zed and immediately thought - ITS SHREDDER WITH LORD ZED! Man, we are getting old...
DeleteLord Zedd* <3
Deleteomg as soon as i seen him i youtubed shredder and man those videos look ancient remember when i used to wach em on the u every morning man we are getting old
DeleteLord Zedd skin plzzzzzzzzz
DeleteWas waiting for something like this for a long time!
ReplyDeleteShen arch nemesis etc.
why shen?
DeleteAkali, Kennen and Shen are as one, even if splited.
DeleteOh wow....who knew Talon and Lee Sin had a baby...awesome!
ReplyDeleteMore like an orgy of Talon, Shen, LeBlanc, Shaco, and Shredder.
DeleteOh gosh *^*
ReplyDelete*oragasm*
I love the building behind him , reminds me Amatsu in ragnarok online :D
shredder from teenage mutant ninja turtle ^^
ReplyDeleteZed is dead babe, Zed is dead.
ReplyDeleteZed's dead baby, Zed's dead.
Deletehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UyGW55IyIPU
ReplyDeleteThe building reminds me this trailer of Rangarok Online :o
Wow, Ragnarok... since when it became so fancy? This surely bring some memories...
DeleteMeh, I thought it was Talon's nemesis or something at first, the characters look pretty similar in style. Except for that Zed is an actual ninja.
ReplyDeletesounds like he'll be high skill caped but rewarding.
ReplyDeleteNega Talon, is that you?
ReplyDeleteIt looks like talon o.o
ReplyDeleteJust with more armor and a stuff.. x D
Deletehe's from china
ReplyDelete*Ionia :)
Deletewhere's the support >:(
ReplyDeleteThe way I look at it, there has been a support champ after Lulu: Zyra. So technically Riot only needs one more.
DeleteSupport is 'not right after Elise' as morello said.
DeleteYeah but it's been like 1 or 2 every month so far and we're in the 11th month of the year already and they haven't shared anything else about a new support. Also Zyra is a mage.
DeleteHonestly, despite the fact that ninja champion and energy user is always awesome, the clone thing will be fun to deal with, tho probably setting the skill cap pretty high, i was actualy expecting to see Zelos someday as an ionia champions, yes irelia's brother.
ReplyDeleteReminded me of Silhouette from Heroes of Newerth!
ReplyDeleteit was the first thing i thought about when i read the clone thing.
Deleteactually it reminds me of meepo more.
DeleteTalon is my favorite champ.
ReplyDeleteNow Zed the second.
*-*
Talon is my favorite champ.
ReplyDeleteNow Zed the second.
*-*
More Assassins? YUSH PLS!
ReplyDeleteTalon 2.0
ReplyDeleteSorry had to do it.
so they say that the season will end with the next patch---> nov 6, so he is comming that day?
ReplyDeleteoh and for the backround looks like he is ionian (you know ionia is similar to japan or some asian cultures)
DeleteHe is Spectre(from dota)+Talon.
ReplyDeleteI'd like him to be as irritating as Shaco.
ReplyDeleteDibs. Just sayin'.
ReplyDelete*Morphling Rip Off
ReplyDelete"Boram Darkwill lies dead, the Crimson Elite have failed."
ReplyDelete"It seems in the end I must do everything myself."
More assassins?! Not that I'm complaining! I just hope the meta will change in S3 to more support their playstyle.
ReplyDeleteshen + talon? :3
ReplyDelete"Talon I am ur Father !!!"
ReplyDelete-Zed, the Master of Shadows-
I really wish they'd make a Q named champion to complete the cycle. Quincy, Quella, or Quinn.
ReplyDeleteAlso...Zed. Weird name for a Ninja, but I'll buy him day one. That'll give me Shen and Zed
so zed is a rip off of talon and shen
ReplyDeleteokay.. my theory is..
ReplyDeletehis clone is an aoe nuke that upon activating again at no additional cost within a certain timeframe allows him to switch places.
his skill shoot shuriken is very similar to lulu's slow but if both shurikens hit you, they cause a either a stun or silence.
his last remaining skill should be some form of self-boosting either attack or movement
his ult creates up to 5 clones of himself, hence, the little sneakpeek morello gave us..
Wanna' see more of his fluff. With his look, he could be related to Talon. A mentor perhaps? Could be another way to get specific lines between the two.
ReplyDeleteAlso, countdown to Zed's dead quotes...
...HIS ULTIMATE WILL SUMMON...THE SHADOW KHAN.
ReplyDeleteLooks like Talon's evil brother.
ReplyDeleteWho needs a medical license when you've got style?
ReplyDeleteAnother assassin....
ReplyDeletefinally a champ with shadows power~<3
ReplyDeletewell, it's great that there is a shadow power champ now, but don't really need another assassin, and Zed is a pretty weird name. He looks op though, so I will purchase!
Deletewhy do we need another ninja?
ReplyDeleteWe really need a champ that starts with q.
But he does look pretty awesome, so bring on Zed, the Master of the Shadows!
spectre <3
ReplyDeletethat mask and the name zed reminds me of Lord Zedd from the the original Power Rangers Series
ReplyDeletesounds like another shaco ult
ReplyDeleteMorello said he's currently fit for mid and maybe jungle. Confirmed that he doesn't stealth, so he won't be like Shaco with him and his clone.
ReplyDeleteHe may be stealthed if u have shadows off!
DeleteI hope they make a support champ after Zed, Lulu's feeling lonely.
ReplyDeleteyesss new jungler
ReplyDeleteHe is a high mobility champion so maybe he will have some form of gap closer. Im thinking leBlanc dash but creates a clone?!?
ReplyDeleteOn Lol wiki you have his abilities if you want to see :
ReplyDeleteLeaked abilities from Riot Database:
Passive: Zed's Shadows deal on-hit effects and take 40% more damage from Attacks and spells.
Q: Zed throws a Skillshot Ninja-Shuriken at your mouse cursor dealing physical damage to target hit. If Zed uses Ninja-Shuriken, while he has placed a Shadow, it will also throw a Shuriken at same target dealing damage if hit.
W: Passive: Zed gains bonus movement speed
Active: Zed places a stationary Shadow at target position
E: If cast on a Shadow, Zed swaps places with it and if cast on an enemy Champion, he dashes to the traget.
R: Zed creates a group of Shadows which are copy of Zed and behave like him too. All deal same ammount of damage as true damage and also Zed can swap posiotion with each of the shadow.
That ulti is sooo sick :D
Deletesounds kinda like Spectre from dota 2
DeleteAssassin class from Maplestory??
ReplyDeleteWHERES THE SUPPORT?!
ReplyDeleteLooks like no support this season. I'm saving money tired off ap,jungle top/assasins champs
DeleteThis is apsolutely amazing i can't wait for him to come out :)
ReplyDeleteThis is apsolutely amazing i can't wait for him to come out :)
ReplyDeleteAnother champ with red in his color scheme -_-
ReplyDeleteWhy do people compare him with Talon? I think he's rather like Wukong.
ReplyDeleteI dont see a monkey tail coming out of his @$$ or that he's carrying a large stick...
DeleteThe Shredder Lives!!!!
ReplyDeleteBelieve it! =^o^=
ReplyDeleteThree ninjas is enough. We need a goddamn samurai already.
ReplyDeleteWell, that ninja stuff with clones that copies habilities is already on HON, with the hero Silhouette: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iRFcpisC3RE
ReplyDeleteLooks almost exactly like Talon, i even thought this was a remake for him originally.
ReplyDeleteBut Zedd's Dead baby?
ReplyDeleteShredder!!!
